> [@Oslo\_Ostragoth](#): > > I think most of us would have preferred that NFM lose power sometime in level oneā€¦ Well, I could have busted **NFM** with my quad-8s (on the flop!), but I didnā€™t want to scare him off, so I slow played it. Afterwards, he told me he would have gone all in on that hand had I pushed for it. My faux pas, I guess. > [@ShadowFacts](#): > > I just want to chime in how much I enjoy these thread titles. Well done, **YR**. šŸ˜ƒ Thanks! We figured it out at the end of the last game of last quarterā€¦a game that I only observed because I got home late. I think Oslo and Root were still on talking about next quartersā€™ thread title and working the BP oil spill into it. My first thought was ā€œSuck my tar ballsā€. NFM wanted some vuvuzela reference also, so BAM, there it is. ---

Thanks for the credit, Yeti. I donā€™t like the vuvuzelas, I find them annoying, but ā€œvuvuzelasā€ is one of those words sound dirty, but arenā€™t. And Yes, IIRC, I had top pair (w/ two eight) and top kicker when you had quad eights. I really thought it was going to be a good enough. I would have busto. Root (or was it Red?) had quad Aces against me, but fortunately I was not committed to that hand. ---

> [@notfrommensa](#): > > Root (or was it Red?) had quad Aces against me, but fortunately I was not committed to that hand. Donā€™t think it was me. I had pretty good cards last night (a couple of full-houses, I think; one of them was after pushing all-in), but I donā€™t remember having quads for quite some time. ---

Yeah I had quad aces on the turn. But i couldnā€™t drum up enough action to sink you with them. ---

You guys are gonna love this: My week was not a total loss. I entered the PokerNews $2K freeroll on PokerStars, but had to leave for a frakking Family Dinner (stupid sister flying in from Arizona) before playing a hand. When I got back 1.5 - 2 hours later, we were nearing the bubble, and I had 10 chips left with blinds at 200/100. The BB swallows me, but I triple up with T5o against QQ when I flopped two pair. The SB also swallows me, but lightning strikes again and I double up to 60 chips. Very soon we are in hand-to-hand play, and 222 losers bust out before the blinds swallow me for good on the same orbit. 948/6000 for $0.44\* in cold, hard, real American money. Proof [here](http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn104/OsloOstragoth/Freeroll2/freeroll.jpg). (Iā€™m OtbertVII at Stars) Permission is granted to bow at my awesomeness. šŸ˜ƒ p.s. I think I have a new strategy for tournament play: register, then disappear. \*I think this boosts my cash account to $0.50. Bow again, if appropriate. ---
